  • City-Bike Maintenance and Availability
    Project Number: 44-JSD-DPC3 City-Bike Maintenance and Availability An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By Michael DiDonato Stephen Herbert Disha Vachhani Date: May 6, 2002 Professor James Demetry, Advisor Abstract This report analyzes the Copenhagen City-Bike Program and addresses the availability problems. We depict the inner workings of the program and its problems, focusing on possible causes. We include analyses of public bicycle systems throughout the world and the design rationale behind them. Our report also examines the technology underlying “smart-bike” systems, comparing the advantages and costs relative to coin deposit bikes. We conclude with recommendations on possible allocation of the City Bike Foundation’s resources to increase the quality of service to the community, while improving the publicity received by the city of Copenhagen. 1 Acknowledgements We would like to thank the following for making this project successful. First, we thank WPI and the Interdisciplinary and Global Studies Division for providing off- campus project sites. By organizing this Copenhagen project, Tom Thomsen and Peder Pedersen provided us with unique personal experiences of culture and local customs.

  • Growth in Worldwide Carsharing: an International Comparison Transportation Research Record Volume 1992, Issue 1, Pages 81-89 January 1, 2007
    Growth in Worldwide Carsharing: An International Comparison Transportation Research Record Volume 1992, Issue 1, Pages 81-89 January 1, 2007 Susan A. Shaheen Adam P. Cohen Growth in Worldwide Carsharing: An International Comparison Susan A. Shaheen and Adam P. Cohen Abstract Carsharing (or short-term auto use) provides a flexible alternative that meets diverse transportation needs across the globe while reducing the negative impacts of private vehicle ownership. Although carsharing appeared in Europe between the 1940s and 1980s, the concept did not become popularized until the early 1990s. For nearly 20 years, worldwide participation in carsharing has been growing. Today, carsharing operates in approximately 600 cities around the world, in 18 nations and on 4 continents. Approximately 348,000 individuals share nearly 11,700 vehicles as part of organized carsharing services (>60% in Europe). Malaysia is operating a carsharing pilot, with a planned launch in 2007. Another eight countries are exploring carsharing. Thirty-three carsharing expert surveys were identified on an international basis. Cost savings, convenient locations, and guaranteed parking were identified as the most common motivations for carsharing use worldwide. An international comparison of carsharing operations, including similarities and differences, is provided. Continued growth is forecast, particularly among new and emerging market segments, such as businesses and universities. Growth-oriented operators will continue to account for the largest number of members and fleets deployed worldwide. In addition, high energy costs; limited and expensive parking; ongoing diffusion of operational knowledge, benefits, and supportive technologies; and increased demand for personal vehicle access in developing nations will affect carsharing’s growth and expansion.

  • Car-Sharing Relocation Strategies: a State of the Art
    Public Mobility Systems 109 Car-sharing relocation strategies: a state of the art E. M. Cepolina, A. Farina & A. Pratelli Department of Civil and Industrial Engineering, University of Pisa, Italy Abstract Traditional car sharing systems are round-trip and require advance reservations. The advances of ICT and vehicle automation allow us to improve car sharing systems and to provide users with greater flexibility. As it concerns reservation, new car sharing systems offer users open-ended reservation and/or instant access. As it concerns the trip typology, new car sharing systems are multiple station shared vehicle systems (MSSVS). Roundtrips still occur in this type of system; however, there is a large number of one-way trips made between the multiple stations. Operating an MSSVS is much more difficult than operating a round-trip shared vehicle system. The problem is that the system can quickly become imbalanced with respect to the number of vehicles at the multiple stations. These systems are called new (or second) generation car sharing systems. Third generation systems are the last being developed; in these systems vehicles can be accessed at any point of the area. An overview of all these car sharing systems is provided in this paper. Keywords: car-sharing relocation procedures, operator-based relocation, user- based relocation, vehicles automation, vehicles localization techniques, capillarity. 1 Introduction The earliest origin of shared use vehicle systems is in 1948, in Zurich, which has been performed by a cooperative called “Sefage”. Afterwards, another shared vehicle system, Procotip, has been settled in 1971 in Montpellier, and Witkar in Amsterdam in 1973.

  • Zipcar/Streetcar Final Report Appendices
    APPENDIX A Terms of reference and conduct of the inquiry Terms of reference 1. On 10 August 2010 the OFT sent the following reference to the CC: 1. In exercise of its duty under section 22(1) of the Enterprise Act 2002 (‘the Act’) to make a reference to the Competition Commission (‘the CC’) in relation to a completed merger the Office of Fair Trading (‘the OFT’) believes that it is or may be the case that— (a) a relevant merger situation has been created in that: (i) enterprises carried on, by or under the control of Zipcar, Inc. have ceased to be distinct from enterprises carried on, by or under the control of Streetcar Limited; and (ii) as a result, the conditions specified in section 23(4) of the Act will prevail, or will prevail to a greater extent, with respect to the supply of car club services in the UK; and (b) the creation of that situation has resulted or may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the UK for goods or services, including the supply of car club services in London. 2. Therefore, in exercise of its duty under section 22(1) of the Act, the OFT hereby refers to the CC, for investigation and report within a period ending on 24 January 2011, on the following questions in accordance with section 35(1) of the Act— (a) whether a relevant merger situation has been created; and (b) if so, whether the creation of that situation has resulted or may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the UK for goods or services.
